Application filed February 16, 1888. Serial No. 264,182. (No mod elJ To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, THEODORE F. W. SCHMIDT, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented cer- 5 tain new and useful Improvements in Paper Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to make a paper vessel suitable for holding ice-cream, having the cover made of one piece, suitably supported to one side ,of the box, and fastening by a tucking flap, the features of which will be more fully described in the description of the accompanying drawings, making a part of this i specification, in which- Figure 1 represents the blank,which is bent as indicated-by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is'a perspective view with one corner broken away, showing a vertical central section of one end.

In the blank, Fig. 1, 1 represents the bottom of the box; 2 2, the side pieces; 3, the back and front sides, 4, the bent corners, forming the ears for supporting the bail, in the manner described in Letters Patent No. 358,411, dated February 22, 1887. 5 represents the lid. These different sections are creased or scarfed,

so as to be readily bent to form a close vessel.

to accomplish this I bend'inwardly the top edges of the ends 2, so that the flaps'6 are provided and stand some little distance below the top edges of the said ears and sides. These flaps 6 form a support for the lid and prevent ,5

holding the lid fast between them and the froht 5 3, which is indicated by dotted linesfa, Fig. 2; Having described my invention, what Iclaiin isi A paper vessel comprising a blankcreased and bent to form the bottom 1, ends 2, sides 3, and lid 5, having the flap 8, for fastening it in a closed position, said ends having their top edges turned inward below the top edges of the ears-and sides to support the lid below said ears and ends, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand. a v
